Lincoln to USC

[Trey13]

Many thought LSU but he never showed interest.
Easier path.

This one shocks me a bit. I think LSU would be easier to keep a team in say the top 10 than USC due to the recruiting area

 

[Trey13]

I agree. He would have done well at LSU. Recruiting hotbed

 

[PalsPal]

Maybe he wanted less pressure.

With some success he should be able to recruit pretty well and field decent teams. Plus, I'd imagine he could tap into some serious NIL $ to offer recruits.

Surprising to me too. But, It wasn't going to get any easier for him at OU with their upcoming move. And I suppose you can't argue theres also a hotbed of talent in Southern California so a competent recruiter and coach should be able to compete in the PACwhatever relatively quick.
Still surprised though.

Same Ole list or names getting mentioned for this job.

Bob stoops, Mark Stoops, lane train, Matt Campbell, Mario Cristobal, Luke Fickell , Dave Aranda

and of course josh Heupels name will be thrown around.

CA is a recruiting hotbed

I've heard that this may trigger Huepel going back to OU, but I doubt it

OU fired him when he was their OC. But who knows.

He went 10-2 this season and more then half the fan base was upset... Now they really upset from what some are reporting.

He was 0-3 in the playoffs, both bama and UGA put him out.

He seen the writing on the wall 10-2 was no longer good enough at Oklahoma, and he would be lucky to get that once Oklahoma moves to the SEC.
